Northampton High School Juniors is an independent girls school, with all that entails. That meant they were more intelligent and confident than most Year 6s, and they bought books. And came up with one part brainrot (the dog thing) and one part Donald Trump (who's disproportionately popular this term).
Flitcham Primary in Norfolk is near Kings Lynn and is in fact on the Sandringham Estate, which means King Charles opened their library. They also bought books, more than I thought they were going to in fact, and got one for free cos the kids were about to perform a Book Of Esther play, so I gave them a copy as a gift. Their suggestions were one part brainrot, admittedly mis-spelled so they end up with a cuckoo which isn't part of the original cucaracha thing they watch on Tiktok or Youtube (this being the week the supposed ban on social media for under 16s was announced, it'll be interesting to see if this sort of thing remains part of their world for long).
Finham Park was a return visit, though I'd not been there for nine years. Because of the high temperatures this week, Coventry being pretty well in the epicentre of the heatwave, they were cutting down to a half day. But luckily I was able to squeeze two classes worth of kids into one group, and still got paid the full day rate. Not bad.
The celebrities these five groups chose to appear in their demonstration strip were Michael Jackson (three times - once they chose young Michael Jackson with his proper nose, lips and hair, and twice they chose old evil Michael Jackson), Cristiano Ronaldo, and Phoebe from Friends.
